Attached device question?
I have my Amazon Echo about 40' from the router and 10' from the satellite. When I look at 'attached devices' the MAC of the echo shows as a wired connection to the router, which is 100% impossible.
Any ideas or advice?

I'm also finding devices that are further away from the router connecting to the router and not the satellite. Satellite is about 50' from the router and a device that is about 20' further away is connecting to the router as well.
hi
its a flaw in the fw coding that will be addressed with newer firmware

Was your comment about the firmware defect related to the labeling (for example, I have a iPhone that shows as a wired connection) or devices choosing the further away Orbi node?
hi , devices shown as ethernet instead of wireless
the reason your device may actually be connecting to the other orbi node is they are to close together , try separating them further
